00:00:44.000 Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:46.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:47.000 Here we go.
00:00:48.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:50.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:52.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:56.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:59.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:00.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:01.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:09.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:22.000 So how many people here want to run for office one day?
00:01:27.000 So this entire afternoon is brought to you by Turning Point Action.
00:01:31.000 And at Turning Point Action, we endorse young, courageous conservatives that are running for office that we believe are going to go to Washington, D.C. and make a serious difference.
00:01:42.000 We endorsed Blake Masters in the great state of Arizona.
00:01:46.000 We endorsed JD Vance in Ohio.
00:01:48.000 And we have also endorsed these terrific two young patriots here from New Hampshire and from the great state of Florida, Caroline Levitt and Anthony Sabatini, who I want to make sure you have an opportunity to meet both of these amazing young patriots, hear about them, hear about what they're doing and what they seek to change in Washington, D.C. Caroline, you go first.
00:02:10.000 Absolutely.
00:02:10.000 Well, hello, everyone.
00:02:12.000 How are we doing today?
00:02:14.000 Fantastic.
00:02:16.000 Fantastic.
00:02:16.000 It's great to be amongst so many freedom-loving young conservatives.
00:02:22.000 This is our country, and we are going to take it back.
00:02:24.000 And it starts by taking back the House with an America-first majority this year.
00:02:28.000 So thank you, Charlie, for your support.
00:02:30.000 I'm Caroline Levitt.
00:02:32.000 I'm running in my home district, New Hampshire's first congressional district.
00:02:35.000 I grew up there in a small business family, went to college there, went to school there.
00:02:40.000 Then I had the blessing of serving our greatest president in the history of our country, President Donald J. Trump in his White House for the best secretary of all time, Kaylee McInani.
00:02:57.000 So we fought on the front lines against the fake news media that was attacking our president every single day, attacking all of us in this room for believing in him.
00:03:06.000 And it was an honor to do so.
00:03:08.000 And after that fight, after seeing what happened with the 2020 election, watching the Democrat regime rip it away from us out of our hands, I decided to step up and do something about it.
00:03:18.000 So I'm 24 years old.
00:03:20.000 I will be 25 in a few weeks, as our founding fathers require in our Constitution.
00:03:26.000 And I'm running against a far left Democrat.
00:03:29.000 His name is Chris Paubus, and he's a puppet for Nancy Pelosi.
00:03:33.000 And we're going to beat him this year.
00:03:34.000 So thank you, Charlie.
00:03:36.000 Anthony.
00:03:38.000 Welcome to the free state of Florida.
00:03:42.000 I'm Anthony Sabatini.
00:03:44.000 I'm a Donald Trump Ron DeSantis Republican for the last four years.
00:03:48.000 And currently, I'm a member of the Florida House of Representatives, where I've helped pass the boldest state agenda in the nation, the Ron DeSantis Freedom Agenda here in Florida.
00:03:58.000 It's been the honor of my lifetime, and now I'm running for a new seat that thanks to Governor DeSantis, we have right here in North Orlando, not too far from here.
00:04:05.000 And I'm going to be bringing the America First agenda to Congress to make sure we actually do what Donald Trump ran on.
00:04:11.000 Not the empty suit Republicans who are killing our bold conservative reforms, but get people in there who are going to do things like finish the wall and do what we did here in Florida, completely and totally ban critical race theory in the country.
00:04:24.000 It's racist, it's evil, it needs to be defeated.
00:04:27.000 So, Anthony, what are some of the policies you think we need to focus on?
00:04:30.000 It seems as if so many people feel let down when Republicans go to Congress.
00:04:35.000 What needs to be the legislative agenda when this new Congress convenes in January?
00:04:40.000 Well, I think the first thing we need to focus on is the most imminent threat, which is this corporate tyranny and this corporate wokeism that we're seeing all around us.
00:04:47.000 This wokeism is taking over every institution.
00:04:50.000 And it's actually very easily defeated if you get the policies right.
00:04:53.000 We got to de-woke the military, ban critical race theory and gender ideology in the military.
00:04:58.000 But you got to do it in the private sector, too.
00:05:00.000 We've done it in Florida, Florida passed the biggest, most robust anti-CRT law in the country.
00:05:04.000 And we could bring that to the national level.
00:05:06.000 You know, if you go to work at a company, they shouldn't be telling you, you know, in the HR department, et cetera, that you should have white guilt and all this nonsense.
00:05:14.000 And so we need federal legislation to ban that racist practice.
00:05:18.000 And I think that is something that we can do really quickly to stop this woke revolution in its tracks.
00:05:23.000 So Caroline, what do you think needs to be the top priority for this upcoming session?
00:05:29.000 Because it looks like there's going to be a big change of power.
00:05:32.000 What do you think needs to be the mandate?
00:05:34.000 First and foremost, we need to stop the illegal invasion that is taking place on our southern border right now.
00:05:40.000 We need, thank you.
00:05:44.000 We need to finish the construction of the border wall, which we've already largely paid for, by the way, the tax dollars.
00:05:50.000 And this president is allowing those resources to rot away at the southern border.
00:05:54.000 Now, I'm from New Hampshire, as I said, I'm running.
00:05:56.000 So we don't see the human impact of this invasion so much as other states on our southern border, but we do see it in the unprecedented amount of fentanyl and illegal drugs that are pouring into communities across the great state of New Hampshire right now.
00:06:10.000 So it is my goal as a young congresswoman, because this is the number one threat that our generation, my generation, faces.
00:06:17.000 It's the number one leading cause of death in America today is overdoses.
00:06:21.000 Nobody's talking about it.
00:06:23.000 I remember throughout the entire pandemic, right, when all of the media sites had a tracker for all of the COVID deaths.
00:06:29.000 Where's the tracker on every single mainstream media network in this country for the amount of people that are putting drugs in their arms and dying because of this president?
00:06:37.000 So we have to shut down the border, build the wall, end catch and release, and always vote against amnesty at all costs.
00:06:44.000 And by the way, if you come here illegally, if that's your first encounter with our great country, you're going to be sent home, period. 0.99
00:06:53.000 Now, Anthony, it seems as if the Republicans in Washington, D.C., they're more focused on trying to fix the border of Ukraine than our own border, sending $56 billion, which is the GDP of North Dakota already to Ukraine.
00:07:10.000 If you were to be elected, do you think that you would vote for sending $56 billion to Ukraine?
00:07:17.000 Why is it the Republican Party so fixated on that?
00:07:20.000 Well, I think there's a lot of the old guards still in the Republican Party who don't understand the America First policies that got Donald Trump elected and that have renewed and made the Republican Party great again.
00:07:29.000 It's time to get people in office who believe that we should only be involved in foreign affairs and foreign interventions if there's a direct and imminent threat on Americans.
00:07:37.000 If there's no real direct threat, we don't have the time or the resources to go around the world looking for monsters to destroy.
00:07:44.000 We need to focus on here.
00:07:45.000 So in my opinion, we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine at all, not even financially.
00:07:49.000 Let's focus on defeating the woke communism that exists here.
00:07:55.000 Caroline, there is a narrative that we have to stop talking about social issues.
00:07:59.000 Roe versus Wade was just reversed.
00:08:02.000 You know, young people, this is going to be the most pro-life generation in history.
00:08:08.000 And do you believe that the Republican Party should have a bold agenda when it comes to family, or should we just talk about tax cuts and whatever else the Republican Party focuses on?
00:08:20.000 We have to go on offense with the issues of our time, which is the culture war.
00:08:26.000 The left has been waging a culture war in our country for decades, and conservatives, I put them in quotes, conservatives have not conserved anything.
00:08:35.000 We have Republicans in office right now who are not even up there defending on Capitol Hill the most basic inherent value that we not only hold as Americans, but as human beings, is that men and women are different but equal.
00:08:48.000 And I am a woman, by the way, to any of the Democrats that are watching this, tracking me, trying to get opposition research for my campaign.
00:08:55.000 But we as conservatives have to fundamentally preserve and protect the traditional social values that make this the greatest country in the history of the world.
00:09:04.000 The left has been waging this war for decades.
00:09:07.000 They have seized every institution in our country to do it.
00:09:10.000 Public education systems with these woke liberal teachers pushing this indoctrination in our classrooms.
00:09:16.000 The corrupt higher education university that is then doubling down.
00:09:19.000 Hollywood, big tech, social media.
00:09:22.000 Every single institution in this country is pushing Marxism down the throats of our young people, stripping our nation of masculinity and family values that are the bedrock of our society.
00:09:33.000 We must protect them at all costs.
00:09:34.000 That means going on offense and speaking truth.
00:09:36.000 So yes.
00:09:37.000 Anthony, your thoughts on that?
00:09:40.000 Absolutely.
00:09:41.000 You know, we need to, you know, this gender ideology is going to destroy the family. 1.00
00:09:45.000 You destroy the family, the whole society is gone.
00:09:47.000 That is literally the center of everything.
00:09:50.000 And so, you know, getting Republicans to take the pledge to push back on what the EEOC and other agencies have done to stuff gender ideology into the private sector has got to be a top priority.
00:10:03.000 Because I'm telling you, if you lose the family, all we have is the state and the individual.
00:10:07.000 And that's basically the recipe of Marxism and extreme socialism.
00:10:11.000 And there's no coming back from that.
00:10:12.000 So Caroline, a lot of young people are wondering kind of where they should go politically.
00:10:18.000 As I mentioned yesterday, this generation is the most, unfortunately, most depressed, the most suicidal, the most drug-addicted, the most alcohol-addicted generation in history.
00:10:29.000 There's a lot of young people that are suffering right now.
00:10:31.000 And I believe largely because there's been an intergenerational kind of crusade, if you will, a betrayal of the promise to create a freer America through lockdowns, vaccine mandates, mask mandates.
00:10:44.000 What is necessary to win over younger voters?
00:10:47.000 If you were to become a member of Congress, you would be the youngest ever.
00:10:52.000 Is that right?
00:10:52.000 That's right.
00:10:53.000 Young history.
00:10:54.000 Yes, sir.
00:10:55.000 So if you were to win, what is required to win over the next generation that is more cynical, more addicted to their screens, and addicted to drugs than ever before?
00:11:07.000 Well, when we win this race, Charlie, not if.
00:11:10.000 When we win this election this fall, thank you very much.
00:11:14.000 We will make every effort, as I already am on my campaign, to reach out to young people.
00:11:20.000 And there's no more effective way to do that.
00:11:22.000 Two ways.
00:11:23.000 One, in-person conversation.
00:11:25.000 We have to throw ourselves into the lion's den, as you have with your organization, Turning Point USA.
00:11:31.000 Go to these college campuses, go to these high schools, reach out to young people.
00:11:35.000 There's never been a better time to do it because we as young Americans are facing the very devastating and very real consequences of this socialist agenda in Washington, D.C. With skyrocketing inflation, gas prices higher than they've ever been in our lifetime as Generation Z Americans.
00:11:51.000 Rents absolutely through the roof.
00:11:53.000 I'm stuck in the rental rabbit hole.
00:11:54.000 I'm not afraid to say it, right?
00:11:56.000 I'm renting, can't afford to buy a home in New Hampshire right now because these markets are insane.
00:12:00.000 These are real consequences of this socialist spending spree in D.C. Reaching out to young people with in-person conversations, meeting them where they are on social media and speaking truth.
00:12:09.000 That's how we're going to get through to them.
00:12:10.000 And Caroline, you just admitted something which is important, which a lot of older Americans say, oh, just work harder.
00:12:15.000 Go buy a piece, go buy a piece of property or a home.
00:12:18.000 So we lock down the country.
00:12:20.000 We prevent job opportunities for young people unnecessarily for 18 months.
00:12:25.000 By the way, we never should have locked down the country.
00:12:27.000 It was completely and totally unnecessary.
00:12:29.000 And I hope we put Anthony Fauci in prison for what he did in our country and lock him up for a very long time.
00:12:38.000 And it was intergenerational warfare.
00:12:41.000 And then by the time we reopen America, everything is two or three times more expensive in the housing market.
00:12:47.000 Anthony, do you think that the Republican Party should be talking about the fact that BlackRock and the CCP are coming in and buying single-family homes for that young people can't buy them?
00:12:59.000 I think it should be a staple of the Republican Party.
00:13:02.000 Stop talking about the abstractions and start talking about the realistic.
00:13:05.000 We have hegemonic woe corporations which are hoarding power, hoarding money, and stealing the dream of the middle class. 0.72
00:13:11.000 You know, people are more miserable, like you said.
00:13:14.000 Because the left has destroyed the country. 0.88
00:13:14.000 Why is it? 0.88
00:13:16.000 And so the country is less, you know, they're less likely to love the country.
00:13:19.000 We got to restore the middle class, restore the American dream.
00:13:22.000 For me, America first means restoring the middle class, stopping the systematic destruction of the middle class. 0.90
00:13:27.000 So everybody, there's been some bad weather, as you know.
00:13:29.000 There's someone that was supposed to be on this panel that actually just arrived who's also running for Congress here in Florida.
00:13:35.000 So we're going to add a chair.
00:13:36.000 Join me in welcoming Ana Paulina Luna as we pull up a chair. 0.96
00:13:44.000 Come on up here, Ana Paulina. 0.96
00:13:45.000 I wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:13:47.000 Hey, guys.
00:13:50.000 Hey, how you doing?
00:13:52.000 So.
00:13:53.000 Hey.
00:13:54.000 All right.
00:13:55.000 Good to see you.
00:13:56.000 Ana, welcome.
00:13:57.000 Thank you.
00:13:58.000 Fresh in from Hollywood, Florida.
00:13:59.000 We're at the Sunshine Summit.
00:14:01.000 Good.
00:14:01.000 So, Ana, we're talking about the future of the Republican Party.
00:14:05.000 And I know that President Trump endorsed your race.
00:14:09.000 And I'm being told things are going very well.
00:14:11.000 What policies do you think we need to embrace when, let's say, a power change happens in Washington, D.C.?
00:14:19.000 What is necessary for this new right movement to embrace?
00:14:24.000 Anything that's America first. 0.97
00:14:26.000 Right now, the Communist Chinese Party is really pushing hard for the great reset because they don't like us.
00:14:31.000 And so it's time that we take a strong stand and tell them the United States of America is not for sale.
00:14:36.000 And any person in Washington, D.C. that pushes that terrible legislation needs to go out.
00:14:40.000 That's right.
00:14:41.000 Now, I hope you all understand this, though, that we applaud for these lines.
00:14:46.000 Your Republicans right now in Washington, D.C., when I ask them this, sometimes when they come on the show, I say, oh, I have to get back to you on that.
00:14:54.000 I ask them, I say, do you think the Chinese Communist Party should be able to own farmland?
00:14:57.000 They say, well, it's a free market.
00:14:59.000 If you elevate corporate profits above the American nation, get the heck out of the Republican Party.
00:15:06.000 You should be nowhere in leadership.
00:15:09.000 Caroline, do you think we should allow multi-billionaires like Bill Gates to be able to buy up our farmland?
00:15:16.000 That why is this such a hard thing for Republicans to get their head around?
00:15:20.000 Absolutely not.
00:15:21.000 And you know why?
00:15:22.000 It's because for far too long, our party has embraced and elected establishment Republicans who are paid for by the wrong people.
00:15:29.000 I am proud to be in my race supported by the people of New Hampshire, patriots across this country.
00:15:34.000 And those are the types of folks that we need to elect who are not going down to Washington to make friends, but to stand up for the needs of their constituents and then go the hell home because we need term limits as well, by the way.
00:15:44.000 And I'm a huge supporter of those.
00:15:47.000 Anna, so you have a military background.
00:15:51.000 How is it, by the way, if you guys see a theme of me bashing the Republican Party, you're right.
00:15:57.000 There's a reason for this, though.
00:15:59.000 I get angry at a fundamental level when Republicans who have political power allow the abuse of our beautiful country to continue while they keep on getting our votes and our dollars and they allow this country to crumble.
00:16:15.000 We know the Democrats.
00:16:16.000 They're here to destroy America. 0.97
00:16:18.000 The Republican Party needs to be put on notice that every one of these people are going to be primary to replace sometime soon.
00:16:25.000 So Ana, why is it Republicans are okay with people in active military to be discharged if they don't take an experimental gene therapy that they call a vaccine?
00:16:33.000 Because these people don't have skin in the game.
00:16:36.000 I can tell you there's people here today to include my husband that got out of military because they stood for their religious freedom and we need to honor that in our U.S. military.
00:16:50.000 Now, when you guys are traveling in your areas of when you're campaigning, what are the issues that you are hearing the most from your constituents?
00:16:59.000 Caroline, we'll start with you. 0.99
00:17:00.000 Absolutely.
00:17:00.000 First and foremost, election integrity.
00:17:03.000 That is the number one issue, and that needs to be a major part of the Republican Party's platform when we take back the House this year.
00:17:10.000 We need people to trust that their votes matter, and we need to fight with every inch of our body to push back against federal election steals.
00:17:18.000 No coincidence, right, that Nancy Pelosi, the first piece of policy that she introduced with this new Congress was HR1, which is a federal radical steal of our elections. 1.00
00:17:29.000 And there's Republicans at the state, local, and federal level that are enabling that.
00:17:33.000 We need to ensure election integrity, or none of these other issues that do matter will matter at the end of the day if our votes don't count.
00:17:40.000 Inflation, gas prices, none of it matters if we don't have election integrity.
00:17:44.000 Anthony.
00:17:45.000 I would say right now, it's this general sense of the decline of the rule of law, the rise of administrative law, this agency throughout the country like the FBI declaring war on the American people, telling parents they're domestic terrorists, this sort of thing.
00:18:00.000 You know, institutions that the left has captured and then turned on the American people.
00:18:05.000 So the Republicans need to turn all of our committees in Congress into an oversight function, like my good friend Congressman Gates says, and literally root out and destroy the corruption in the Biden administration because they've destroyed our institutions and destroyed people's belief in government.
00:18:19.000 I think that's an existential threat to the country, Ana.
00:18:22.000 I'd have to say it's American energy independence right now.
00:18:25.000 Who likes the gas prices?
00:18:27.000 No one.
00:18:28.000 Boo.
00:18:28.000 Yeah, boo, Biden.
00:18:30.000 Okay, look, it's time for us to get back to American oil from American soil.
00:18:36.000 We have the cleanest gas in the world here in the United States of America.
00:18:40.000 We don't need anyone else.
00:18:41.000 We don't need Saudi. 1.00
00:18:42.000 We don't need Venezuela.
00:18:43.000 We have it right here at home.
00:18:44.000 And if we don't reopen our pipelines, we're going to get our butts handed to us by China. 0.87
00:18:49.000 See how we go back to China?
00:18:50.000 Boo on China. 0.96
00:18:52.000 So let's go down the line one last time.
00:18:55.000 We have 5,000 students from across America here, many of whom that are under attack on high school and college campuses.
00:19:01.000 We have three young leaders here.
00:19:02.000 You're being attacked by major Democrat machines or Republican machines, right?
00:19:08.000 Which means, by the way, the fact they're getting attacked by Republican machines, that's why they're on the stage, by the way.
00:19:13.000 And what advice do you have one after the other for the young person that says, I don't know if I want to get involved.
00:19:20.000 I don't know if I want to do it.
00:19:21.000 You three have really gone all in to save America.
00:19:25.000 Ana, we'll start with you and go down the line.
00:19:26.000 Stand firm and don't back down ever.
00:19:29.000 No matter if you're the only one standing there, never back down.
00:19:33.000 I joined Turning Point USA when I was in 2018, right out of the military.
00:19:37.000 I turned down medical school so I could fight for this country.
00:19:40.000 This is a great organization.
00:19:41.000 And I can tell you, every single one of you here could be on this stage.
00:19:44.000 Keep working hard, fight, and never give up.
00:19:49.000 I would say the single most important piece of advice I can give you is just take that first step.
00:19:53.000 Become a pre-SIC man or a pre-SIC woman or go work in a campaign of a candidate that you believe in and get involved.
00:20:00.000 Because I tell you, once you take that first step and you get in, it'll be the best decision you ever made and it'll take over your whole life.
00:20:05.000 Like it has for many years.
00:20:07.000 Caroline.
00:20:08.000 Believe in yourself.
00:20:09.000 If I listened to every single swamp creature in Washington, D.C. who told me to sit down, shut up, and wait my turn, I would not be sitting up here with a winning campaign going to flip one of the most competitive districts in this country on our way to saving our country.
00:20:23.000 Believe in yourself every single day.
00:20:27.000 Ana Paulina, Anthony Sabatini, Caroline Levitt at Turning Point Action, which is Turning Point USA sister organization we're hosting this afternoon.
00:20:36.000 We are here to transform the Republican Party into a party that fights and then holds our elected leaders accountable.
00:20:43.000 We need to make sure the America First movement that Donald Trump started continues and that we prioritize the American people and that we have a Republican Party that understands what we're up against.
00:20:54.000 You just heard from three incredible leaders, and that's a little snapshot, everybody, of what is to come.
00:20:59.000 If the old Republican Party is watching, your time is up.
00:21:03.000 God bless you guys.
